Redeye follows a husband and wife who, after undergoing dramatic changes to their appearances, struggle with their fears and insecurities from the past while trying to hold their relationship together. It seemed like you took your time in building the characters and the story to great emotional effect. How did you manage the pacing of the story while keeping readers engaged?

I used a Three-Act structure when outlining my books. This was a simpler story than what I was used to with fewer main characters. The story really came together easily with a decent pace, and I sprinkled a lot of pop-culture references to keep my readers engaged with some memorable nostalgia.

I find that authors sometimes ask themselves questions and let their characters answer them. Do you think this is true for your characters?

Hmmm, That’s the first time I’ve heard that. I wouldn’t say they answer any questions I may have, but my characters DO speak through me, and I’m glad they have an audience that will actually listen to them.

What is the next book that you are working on, and when will it be available?

I’m working on two new standalone novels that I hopefully plan to release in either late 2026 or early 2027.
